12 Monkeys

I just watched ’12 Monkeys’ the other night, but had to post here how good it was.

Knowing this was a Terry Gilliam film and expecting a visual treat, I went into the film a little skeptical about how much Id enjoy the action/sci fi aspect of the plot. Turns out I loved the plot; it was engrossing, intelligent and unpredictable (for me anyway). The film felt familiar, which was the perfect atmosphere for a story about memory, repetition and time. Brad Pitt’s jittery mental patient was impressively thrilling. The crazy eyes were amazing!

I have to watch the film again to fully understand the story and see little bits I missed on my first watch- but I’m excited to do so.
